Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Explains Why He Passed Over Timothy Bradley

[Mr. Philadel]

Jr won 1 round against Serg and dudes are calling for a sequel....Bradley actually won way more rounds than Jr but nobody wants the rematch ...I had Bradley winning and all the b1tching and complaining in the world won't change that "W" into a "L"....some fans need to get over it...hating the player but loving the game...thats like wearing your boxer drawers backwards!!...Bradley did NOTHING wrong..not a thing!!!

[Mr. Philadel]

I totally disagree with Manny. Whether you thought Manny won or not against Bradley, it wasn't onesided or easy. And, Manny forgets it was against an injured fighter. The truth is, he knows he has a better chance at beating a slower and older fighter in Marquez. Marquez will always present problems, but he is 39 years old and past his prime. With one mistake on Marquez part, Manny can get the KO. Manny respects Marquez's skill in the ring but doesn't think he can be hurt by him. I think this fight he will take more risks and catch up with Marquez. Fighting Bradley presents a whole different problem. Bradley is elusive and will not stand there with him to be hit. Bradley will make adjustments in a rematch where Manny won't. It may not be an action packed fight, but thats because Manny will not figure out how to get to Tim. He will miss wildly again. This time,with 2 healthy legs, Tim will counter more. May not look good, but Tim can outbox Manny much easier than Juan. And even if Manny wins, he won't look good doing it. I don't like it at all. I think Tim has what it takes to beat Manny. The problem is, Manny and Roach feel the same way and want know parts of it. Especially when they have other options.

Took the words right out of my mouth, couldn't have said it better.

Bradley did not deserve the first fight to begin with. Nobody cares if Bradley fights anymore or not. He is just not a guy people want to see in a boxing ring. Fighters like himself need to realize that their style is boring.

Boring or not, the guy has fought some of the best fighters at 140 and is undefeated. A win is a win no matter if its boring or not. He proved he belonged in the same ring with Manny. How hard is it to compete with 2 bad feet against one of the best fighters on the planet. How did Manny dominate him when after the 5th round he never really landed solid shots? I guess its boring to constantly use the jab. I guess its boring to work the body. I guess its boring to slip punches and bob and weave. Hell, I guess "BOXING" is boring! What most people want are brawls. Sorry if some guys that have been taught properly, that "Boxing" is the sweet science where you hit and try not to get hit. Then, guys like Manny haven't been taught how to catch up and hit these guys. So, that makes the fight, "boring"??? I like brawls and bloody fights just like the next person. But, I have an appeciation of fighters that are too good to get in brawls and bloodied. I like fighters, but I have love for a pure "BOXER".

He won about two rounds and got injured because he kept getting hit with left hands which made him stumble across the ring.

Nope, he clearly won rounds 1,2,7,10,11,12 those are 6 rounds right there.

You got to agree with Pac here, he has nothing to prove against Bradley he clearly won the fight Pac is taking on a better opponent who will and has caused him a lot of problems.

Well said man.

If you want to delude yourself into believing Bradley won those rounds thats fine, but when you use words like "clearly won" it washes away any little credibility your post may or may not of had.

translation. bradley is not a great fighter and i can't beat him. so instead,i will fight marquez who is a great fighter but i can't beat him neither. maybe if i was'nt one dimensional,was'nt dumb so i can make adjustments when things are not going my way,and i had a real trainer. i can beat them both. (MAYBE)

[noStylez]

I Can't believe Pac actually was able to hang with a young hungry in his prime fighter in Bradley. It was one sided on my cards but the actual fight It was fairly
Close borderline boring fight. Bradley didn't do enough to win most
Of the rounds.

As for this 4th fight, same **** and probably same
Result, PAC and Marquez both need to clearly and convincingly win, otherwise another **** storm for fanboys and haters will come out to play.
